Spain Day 5!

This morning Lara and I went shopping (for souvenirs and gifts and because everything is cheaper here) and met Oma & Opa for lunch with Dominic. I'm the only one in our group that knows more than two words in Spanish (besides my aunt, but she wasn't around) so I had the privilege of ordering our food... Which was neat. It's an awesome feeling of accomplishment when you successfully communicate with someone in another language. Also, I had pineapple juice because it sounded awesome. It was most awesome. 

Then Lara & I went and got ice cream. Mine was snickers flavored! :)

We walked back up to the hotel and changed into our swim stuff to hang out by the pool. And that's all we did all afternoon. :)

We had dinner at the hotel, and then went to a little outcrop to watch the sunset. Lara and I took some really neat pictures. 

We leave tomorrow! I want to stay... This has been such a fun vacation, I really hope to come back to Spain again someday!

I actually can sport!!!

Today was "sport day", and it was super fun. In the morning we went swimming outside (it was coooold) and ran races and such. In the afternoon we had a volleyball tournament against the whole 3rd grade (freshmen). There are a bit more than 100 third graders, and my team won 1st place! It was super fun. 

Something that I was thinking about the other day on the train was Swiss-German. I think a lot of people don't understand what it is. German is an official language, and is what is spoken in schools and is written in textbooks. Swiss-German is a dialect, which means it is only spoken. Technically. It's really strange to try and read Swiss-German, because it theoretically doesn't exist. But all the students message each other in Swiss-German, just like we use abbreviations and shortened words (Like r, u, omg). It's really difficult to understand sometimes.
